Shaun of the dead-leg
Albeit somewhat like extras from Shaun of the Dead, they’re now walking. First steps happened about a month ago, and I’m prepared to label them walkers officially now that they choose to go on foot rather than on hands and knees if they happen to be upright when the urge to travel strikes.
Rosa’s the more walky of the pair, but with Ruby’s boundless courage and energy making up for her slower start, she does very well. They both move as though their legs have gone to sleep, but they don’t seem to mind. In fact they seem delighted, though they don’t yet get anywhere fast, and resort back to a highly polished power crawl when speed is of the essence.
I’m told once they’re regularly walking outside, we’re looking at a £50 per month shoe habit - and that’s just one measly pair each - eek!

Shaun, not Sean, if it matters
